    "Tucanos Brazilian Grill"

    Sue suggested we try the "Tucanos Brazilian Grill" for dinner. We was marvelous. They have a great big salad bar with vegetables. Then you have a cylinder on your table. Turn the green end up and they bring you meats off the grill. Chicken, Beef, Turkey, Pineapple, etc. Turn the red end up when you want them to wait. Lay the cylinder on it's side and your waiter comes running, and they DO!
